Full Circle Education Past, Present, and Future

Founded in 2006 by Erika Eschholz, Full Circle Education teaches and promotes sustainable patterns of living through hands-on experiences associated with local organic farms, gardens, and wild places. Full Circle Education strives to help others appreciate and understand the natural systems of life and learn to live more lightly upon them.

Full Circle Education began under the sponsorship of Teton Valley Community School and then partnered with Slow Food in the Tetons, both of which are 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations. Full Circle Education received its own nonprofit status in 2012. We have worked with over 20 schools and youth groups in Teton Valley, ID and Jackson, WY connecting children to sustainable living through farm and garden experiences. These experiences occur on school campuses, where we have helped establish educational gardens and greenhouses, as well as at local farms and ranches, where participants experience working landscapes and lifestyles.

Full Circle Education has provided Sustainable Living Workshops for adults and families in Teton Valley and Jackson Hole since 2007. Participants learn practical skillsfor growing, raising, and processing their own foodin ecologically and economically sustainable ways.These classes have included cheese making,backyard chicken rearing, wild edible plant identification, the family cow (where participants learn what it takes to own and milk a cow), home brewing, soap making, and field dressing wild game.
